1. It is one of the most influential Defense Contracting companies in the U.S. The C4 Division has been very active in multiple areas of several major contracts. 2. The compensation packages are known to be above average in the industry. 3. C4 Systems has growth potential. 4. C4 Systems overseas many contracts overseas which typically grants much more generous compensation for the employees.

Pros

GD-MS seems to win *ALOT* of proposals and contracts. There is always the next big thing at GD-MS.

Cons

Contractors 411: Typically, contracts terminated with no notice. Today will be your last day. Please wrap up your work. It was a very low-rate contract too. Made alot of sacrifices to be on this program. Culture resembled a human wood-chipper ala FARGO. Many senior engineers leaving en-mass. I was asked to take over the role of the engineer who left just prior to my arrival. I called it: I will be next. Good experience once in your life to go thru the human wood-chipper. Toughens you up. However, GD-MS is a great example of how it is that legacy aerospace companies are dying rapidly and startups will be the future in aerospace.
